Fred H. Kiser (1878-1955) was a mountaineer, promoter, and a successful landscape and commercial photographer in the American West during the first two decades of the early 20th century. He entered the photographic business around 1902 with his brother, Oscar, as Kiser Brothers Scenic Photographers. With studios both in Portland and at Warrendale, Oregon, they established themselves as significant landscape photographers. By 1905, Fred was working independently of his brother and continued to focus on Pacific Northwest scenic landscapes. Color photography helped make Kiser's work nationally known and helped to create and promote national parks in the Northwest, including Crater Lake and Glacier. Kiser developed the art of hand coloring into a mass-production line that allowed him to market his Artographs widely.<
